CFCs stands for Chlorofluorocarbons. These compounds have long lifetimes. Because of its long lifetimes, it will not only affect our atmosphere but will also climbed to the higher spheres of earth, particularly our stratosphere.

The stratosphere is the location of our ozone layer. It protects us from the extreme rays of the sun. Prolonged presence of CFCs in the stratosphere destroys our ozone layer. Thus, weakening the protection from the sun's uv rays. This will affect us because we are subjected to higher risk of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays which may result to skin cancer and other sun related ailments.
